Excerpt from UCSB Current Science + Technology
UC Santa Barbara and Santa Barbara City College have joined forces to expand a program that provides critical workforce pathways for micro/nanotechnology and semiconductor manufacturing. Supported by the National Science Foundation’s Division of Undergraduate Education’s Advanced Technological Education program and Intel, the collaboration builds on existing cleanroom training at UCSB’s California NanoSystems Institute to provide SBCC’s students and faculty with access to training and experience to help fill a demonstrated need in the high-tech industry.
“With increasing investment in semiconductor technologies in the U.S., it’s really important that we also support a talented and diverse semiconductor workforce,” said Galan Moody, an associate professor in electrical and computer engineering at UCSB and a co-PI on the proposal. “This partnership does exactly that by providing students with hands-on cleanroom training, certification and pathways to industry jobs.”
